Yes — all natural tomato ketchup is ultra-processed.
Not a great choice for everyday, despite its mostly simple ingredients.
This ketchup contains chicory root fibre, an extracted and isolated fibre ingredient, and natural colour (paprika extract), an extracted additive. Under the stated NOVA guidance, extracted or isolated additives are considered ultra-processed. The remaining ingredients are generally minimally processed culinary foods or traditional sweeteners, but these additives classify the product as UPF.
Other sauces, condiments & spreads Nomi has checked — these ones aren't ultra-processed.

Yes — all natural tomato ketchup by Dr Will’s is ultra-processed, so it counts as a UPF (ultra-processed food). This ketchup contains chicory root fibre, an extracted and isolated fibre ingredient, and natural colour (paprika extract), an extracted additive. Under the stated NOVA guidance, extracted or isolated additives are considered ultra-processed. The remaining ingredients are generally minimally processed culinary foods or traditional sweeteners, but these additives classify the product as UPF.
Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
